2.Install eye.lo

eye.lo is a highly scalable software platform installed in customer’s premises. Dedicated to very large Network, eye.lo’s distributed architecture, based on redundant nodes, insures an optimal level of use of all the resources, fault tolerance and low latency response for the multiple requests.

OS: eye.lo runs on a Linux based OS environment

Web-based: Administrators and operations team access eye.lo through supported web browsers using https as the default transport protocol.

Hardware: eye.lo can be deployed on a single or multiple server architecture depending on router count. When eye.lo is deployed on a multi-server environment, part of the platform components can be implemented in a virtualized architecture. For large network, time-series data-base requires physical servers for better user-experience.

Scalability: A proprietary “flow-balancer” ensures the scalability and load-balancing across collection Nodes. A ground breaking proprietary fast-data processing and access technology, ensures data storage scalability and enables end-users a fast access to their dashboards and reports.

Resiliency: High availability for eye.lo requires to the solution to be installed on two data centers, and to declare one instance as a backup to the other. Each DC is assigned a role: active (read-write) or passive (read-only). The User Service resists (detects and protects itself) to typical failures.

Provisioning: eye.lo automatically discovers part of the information needed to monitor the end-customers’ CPEs. Other information, such as the client name, are provided to the platform using a scheduled API for massive deployment or manually for light deployment.

3.Collect network data

Network data collection

From legacy to new generation network element eye.lo is a multi-vendor collection platform. It can gather data from both the legacy Network Elements, and the newly installed appliances. IT manager monitor their networks with the same platform as they gradually swap their network architectures from a legacy connectivity service to an Application Visibility & Control (AVC) service, and then, to a full integrated service routing including dual transport paths between the branch and the data center (PfR), and transport optimization (WaaS & Akamai connect).

Application recognition

Know what is using network from the thousands of visited web sites, eye.lo reports, the top applications and urls making the bulk of the traffic. It provides end-to-end response-time and split latency between LAN, external network and application. Combining application-level KPIs with network-level KPIs (Load, Jitter, lost packets, IP SLA,..) gives end customers a powerful method for objective assessment of end-user experience.drilldown.

Category and group: They may be customized by SP admins and end-customer, to classify their traffic.

Cisco Nbar2: eye.lo includes the latest Cisco Nbar2 dictionary (protocol pack). Protocol pack may be updated in eye.lo platform when new one are published.

Custom application: Beside Nbar2 recognition, SP admins and end-customers can define custom applications based on IP address, port, URL.., using several criteria for a unique.

4.Optimize End-User Experience

Drill down your end-to-end infrastructure

Near real time data, tab-centric end-user workspace. Each tab combines KPIs from every features activated on the Network (standard snmp, strandard Netflow, IWAN) to display use-case visualization: TCP application health-check, Network CoS consistency, Network load, Traffic analysis, Hybrid network performance, … Start from a network overview and drill-down to application and site. You can detail every element included in a dashboard.

Static, synthetic, scheduled, emailed, shared visualisation.

The Report studio turns application or network information from the eye.lo platform into simple configurable widgets that can easily be moved around, edited, re-dimensioned and combined. Both useful for top level synthetic visualization or daily actionable status of network and business critical application, each report is a dynamic object that can be automatically updated with refreshed data if desired.

Get an alert when KPI is out-of-policy

Alert when network elements and applications are out-of-policy. The high-performance and robust memory management of .lo platforms open new opportunities for advanced data processing and progressive automation at the application level. It helps IT teams to optimize the network, prevent impact on the level of service and react quickly to detected problems.

Display your network key performance indicators on your home page

Get a simple, synthetic and near-real time view of your traffic and your network. Choose your key performance metrics and customize your landing page to get a end-to-end view with one quick look.

Path Visualization

When a VPN architecture uses static or dynamic (Cisco PfR) WAN paths, eye.lo leverages performance metrics and events to display a simple and innovative visualization of the end-to-end flows. It helps you visualize where your traffic goes through and why paths has changed. Combining traffic view and distribution of performance metrics, the flow map is an extremely effective tool to troubleshoot and optimize hybrid network. Designed for VPN set across a few or thousands of sites, it adapts to each enterprise context.

5.Leverage a multi-tenant environment

IT integration

Integrating eye.lo into existing provisioning process eye.lo scalability enables collection of thousands of customers and tens of thousands of CPEs. Compliant with traditional communication protocols, eye.lo can be deployed in a hybrid architecture where legacy routers are monitored using snmp or TNF protocols, and latest routers are monitored using IPFIX. Service Providers swap smoothly their routers from legacy monitoring to advanced application monitoring as they renew business-customer contracts.

Hardware sizing: eye.lo processes and aggregates raw flows coming from the routers to store what is needed for a customer/service profile. For a number of CPEs above 3000 devices, LivingObjects provides simple sizing tools and recommends to consider a multi-server architecture. The inner scalability of eye.lo platform enables a gradual deployment as Service Providers add new advanced services, to their connectivity portfolio.

Link sizing: Depending on features activated on the network, flow size are different. LivingObjects provides a sizing tool to evaluate their central link size.

Multi-tenant management: Make your customer unique

eye.lo provides highly customizable environment. Based on default configuration (dashboards, reports, alerts, ..) Service Providers can easily adapt the platform to their marketing and operational requirements. To isolate and securely manage the specific set up for each enterprise, eye.lo embeds a powerful rights management engine. It enables administrator to closely manage access to eye.lo functionalities and resources.

Once complete, default resources may be customized by end-users to schedule automatic e-mailings for daily reporting, scope dashboards to their network specificity, and help them to fulfill their business-critical application SLA and build confidence for new value added services.
